level of development across the 12 skills being measured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshops delivered by Mindtools were specifically designed to address the gaps that appeared in the assessments and support the participants in developing the skills they need to be better able to perform their roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The participants were happy that the workshops were very interactive with purpose designed exercises and relevant scenarios, and that the facilitator was able to lead discussions between the participants and that they could share best practices with each other.&#8221;<br><br><strong>Trevor Smith, Leadership Development Senior Manager, Novanta<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div> \n\n\n<div\n  id=\"bb-block-wrapper-1539305464\"\n
